See A104156 for an order 2 example.
b(n) = a(2n)-floor(sqrt(n))+1 is an infinite binary word consisting of a sequence of block (0,1) and single 0's where 0's occur when n is of form k^2-1, k>=2 i.e. b(n) begins for n>=1 : (0,1),0,(0,1),(0,1),0,(0,1),(0,1),(0,1),0,(0,1),... and single 0's occur at n=3,8,15,...
